But others, especially first-year manager Fred Ocasio and the Tourists themselves, could breathe a sigh of relief. After four and one-third innings, Asheville had only mustered one hit to visiting West Virginia's 10, leaving the score at 5-0 in the Power's favor.

Tourists spokesperson Chris Smith said the game will pick up tonight at 5:35 p.m. at McCormick just as it left off through nine innings, with the Power in the 5-0 lead and Power third baseman D.J. Crumlich on second base.

Asheville catcher Tom Murphy's single line drive to right field fence was the only hit of the night for the home team, against starting pitcher Orlando Castro who was up to three strikeouts in four innings pitched.

Tourist starting pitcher Ben Hughes gave up the Power's five runs on 10 hits and two strikeouts.

Tonight's originally scheduled game against West Virginia will commence after the make-up game with a seven-inning game following a 30-minute break.

Asheville (5-2) is 3-1 against West Virginia so far this season, with wins of 3-0, 15-6 and 4-1, and a 6-5 loss. Pitcher Ryan Arrowood will start for the Tourists tonight.
